[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the most important thing for your DD is to develop her individual technical skills till u13. There are a lot of places that can do that. Rec most of the time is not one of those place. She can still play rec but should get technical training. Tell us where you live and people will tell you what’s close to you. [/quote]

How do you develop tech skills if not on a rec team??[/quote]

Rec teams do not develop technical skills.
Technical. A technical player is a master of the techniques of the game (passing, trapping, shooting, dribbling, tackling the ball.) He has excellent touch, precise control, a fast work-rate of touches on the ball, and uses all sorts of body surfaces or edges. He does seemingly impossible or unbelievable things with the ball, even under pressure or in the closest proximity to opponents. These qualities are learned and practiced, often combined and used in unusual ways.

You learn drills like this to improve touch.

The girl doing this drill is a little sloppy. U10 travel girl should be able to do this drill in about 2-3 minutes. A gifted player 1:20 to 1:45. A u10 average travel girl should be juggling in the 20’s. Technical skill is not usually taught at a rec level. [/quote]

Oh man in the 20s?  My nine-year old girl can easily do 15-16 juggles alternating feet . . . and kicks equally well with left and right feet.  And I thought that was good!  Oh well.[/quote]
